Marco Island & Naples Beach Water Sports

  Instructors were very clear with their safety instructions and patient with new drivers.
Marco and Edward are the best.This was my first time on jet ski and our group had… read more great experience. We did sightseeing of wild life and historical dome homes. Definitely recommend anyone who visit Marco Island to experience this activity to see the island.

  My daughter and granddaughters went parasailing together – ages 8 and 10 – and had a wonderful time. We’ve used MI Water Sports many times and they are… read more so pleasant to deal with. They are very conscientious about safety. Everything runs like clockwork. Definitely recommend.

  Calusa Spirit with Capt. Shawn and Zack, very entertaining. Dolphins up close to the boat. Shelling on an exposed sand bar. Nice music, cold beer; a really… read more pleasant afternoon. Highly recommend.

No manatees on this trip so, even though it is out of their control, only four stars. Better luck next time…

  While visiting Marco Island with my extended family, we decided to do a Wave Runner tour leaving from the Marriott. This was a very convenient location for us to get… read more to – and we had 7 waverunners rented for our tour with 14 of us going (2 on each).

Most of us needed to complete a short test to be able to drive the wave runner, but Marco Island Water Sports made this truly painless. We made our way down to their location, read the booklet with information, and took a 25 question test. Everyone passed and we were ready to go!

We had Captain Ryan guiding our tour, and he was FANTASTIC! He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the habitats we rode through, history of the island/area/architecture we saw, and animals. They do not promise that you will see dolphins, however we got very lucky and Captain Ryan spotted some dolphins toward the end of our ride. He led us over to them and let each of us get close enough to see them (mom, dad and baby dolphin!) jumping and swimming under us – one of the coolest experiences of my life. After we followed the dolphins for a little while, Ryan noted that the Dad Dolphin was starting to get a bit defensive in his maneuvers and therefore we stopped following them and headed back to the Marriott. I really appreciated Ryan’s vast knowledge of dolphin behavior (which he shared with us) but also that he used this to ensure we were not bothering them in their natural habitat.

Ryan was attentive, knowledgeable, and patient as we had very new drivers with us and all had a safe and fun ride. Thank you to Marco Island Water Sports and Captain Ryan for a truly unforgettable ride!

  Yesterday Marco guided our group of six wave runners on a great 2 hour trip!

Great way to get out on the water and see the wildlife and enjoy the beautiful scenery! Highly recommend this tour.

  Matt and James should win the contest as they rocked our parasail trip this week during these crazy covid-19 days! Friendly, experienced, efficient and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked… read more for an easier flight. I even suspect they had something to do with the fact that we got it done the day before the beaches shut down . We had 2 experienced flyers and 1 first timer and everyone felt great about the experience.

  Matt and James were the perfect captains for my daughter’s first parasail. Even though she is 18, mothers still get a little concerned. I knew as soon as we got… read more going that these two were pros. I went as an “observer” and photographer (with phone) and the ride along in the boat was worth the money for certain.

  Our family did a waverunner tour that departed the JW Marriott on Marco Island and proceeded into the Ten Thousand Islands. The tour itself – the wildlife, particularly the many… read more dolphins and birds we saw – was top-notch. But what really made the day special was the staff.
